Compatibility issues

Widescreen Mod v3.01 fails to install on a clean install of TotSC 1.3.5521 from 3 CD set, however, it succeeds after installing the "Intl" 5521 patch. This particular requirement isn't mentioned in the README.

This is the most useful thing I have read on this forum for the in the past 3 hours. Version 3.04 of the Widescreen Mod doesn't work on the native 5521 3 disc install either. I have yet to find the International Patch, but this would be key information for the README or one of the sticky posts. It sure would save time surfing through the epic rudeness from the moderator.

Hi, dudes.I have instaled BG2 SOA, the lastest Patch and Widescreen Mod in 2560x1440pxl. res. Everything was perfect, than I installed The Darkest Day 103 mod and the screen was cutted off.........Do you know what to do, in order run it in normal view?

That's a know issue...Uninstall the game, clean the game folder, reinstall the game and patch it and then install the TDD first, then the Widescreen mod. Or use the never more up to date TDD(might require the ToB) where the GUI mod is not tied to to primary install files, and if you want to, install the GUI mod before the Widescreen mod. ...And then install the Widescreen mod.

Welcome to the sanity, you are free to search for the limit, it's out there, we drew it in the sand.Here's how to install all the ... mods you ever really could want to Infinity Engine games. I removed the stable word from there as Roxanne began to add BS mods that are likely to break compatibility from the BWS.

I tryed to instal " TDDv.1.14...and the program told me that need "BG2 Fixpack Core Fixes".I downloaded - bg2_fixpack-v9.ehe from here: http://www.gibberlin...net/bg2fixpack/and start to install it, the last modul (4th - [BETA Core Fixes]) give me an error....Because of this I was not able to install TDDv.1.14 Both suggestions didn't work... Some other suggestions?By the way I'm with Win7...

The Core Fixes(component #0) and the Beta Core Fixes(component #3) are different thing... the Beta Core fixes need the BGII - ToB, so just install the BG2 Fixpack component 0 and TDD. What comes to the TDD v1.03, it copies over the vanilla BGII's BGMain.exe so that it breaks the compatibility with Widescreen mod, as the .exe is not the original... the bigg would need to check that the TDD's patch doesn't brake anything, which is really idiotic to do to a mod that has a better version already available.

Ah, darn, it seems that that too requires the ToB, as the string 73245 is the "Play Shadows of Amn<TM> with the new area of Watcher's Keep Dungeon"... which is there in the SoA - ToB selection box.

1 - install BG2 SoA2 - Patch it.3 - install BG ToB...

1-2-3... Did you patch the ToB with the (v2.5.)26498 patch, see the SoA patch is already included in the ToB, but the ToB needs to be patched with it's own patch.Ah, you didn't say you had ToB.
